It is very rare that I get to enjoy a quiet morning alone with a cup of coffee and just be. Today is one of those days...mind you, I have already gotten Builder Boy off to school complete with sleeping through the first alarm, construction that made the 5 minutes drive almost 15 minutes, or the hour of work I've already done, so this wasn't exactly a roll out of bed and enjoy the quiet kind of day. Nonetheless, after all the morning craziness, I grabbed my cup of coffee and here I am.
Just being.
Just thinking.
Just enjoying the cat purring on the couch behind me
...the wind rattling these 130 year old windows
...the cars rolling by on the street outside
...the sound of the furnace kicking on to warm the house.
The day ahead holds a few smaller projects that will finally be checked of my list after too long, a mountain of exams to finish grading, some lessons to be planned, a dinner to be cooked, and some laundry to fold, but for the now, they are just the future. And for once, I am just enjoying the now.
Have a good day, everyone!
Well, this sounds like a downright perfect start to your "Year of Me." Keep up the good work! :)
